when relinquishing the study of nature and presenting me with 

 his herbarium he gave himself up wholly to parochial duties. 



Hort. ketv. eel. II. Hort. kewensis 2nd edition enlarged by W. 

 T. Alton. 5 vols. 1810-1813. It is not properly an edition, the 

 description and plates of the former work being omitted. Nothing 

 is said in either publication of the founder of the garden. 



Hudson apothecary in Panton street. He shewed me Peloria. 

 The destruction of his herbarium and cabinet of insects by fire 

 was a national loss and which Davies told me either caused or 

 hastend his death. [WilHam Hudson (1730-1793), author of the 

 Flora Anglica.] 



Islington garden in Middlesex, cultivated by W. Pitcairn 

 physician, much employed in the city. [Plants from this garden 

 are in Herb. Banks.] 



Johnson Dr. of Coxbench near Derby, author of Animal 

 chemistry, and of the greater part of the places of growth of 

 plants in Pilkingtons Derbyshire. The American specimens to 

 which his name is subjoined were gatherd on Long island, the 

 neighbourhood of New York, Trenton, Philadelphia, Lancaster 

 (with Muhlenberg), Harrisburgh, Sunbury, Northumberland, 

 where he visited Priestley, whence he passed 300 miles up the 

 Susquehana, returning by the same course to New York. The 

 European specimens were collected in Switzerland. 



Kew garden in Surry, in the valley of the Thames, laid out 

 with great taste. Alton the father shewed it me introduced by a 

 letter from Curtis. He explained to me the plan of the catalogue 

 which appeared some years after under the title of Hort. Kew. 

 Alton carried his specimens and doubts to Bankss library as I 

 did those of the Upton garden, where they were examind and 

 resolved by the polite and candid Solander, as his manuscript 

 descriptions and specific characters in the British museum will 

 testify (Alton, W. b. 1731 d. 1793). [For an account of these MSS. 

 see The History of Alton's Hortus Keivensis, pp. 1-4 (Journ. Bot. 

 1912, Supplement iii.) : also issued separately.] 



[Knowlton. See Darley garden.'] 



Lambeth garden in Lambeth marsh in the valley of the 

 Thames, cultivated by Curtis who removed it to Brompton. 



Letts, upt. Hortus uptoniensis in Fothergills works 4to 

 p. 493. "Though I have endeavourd " says Lettsom "to render 

 "the catalogue as complete as possible I am aware of the possi- 

 " bility of many inaccuracies and defects, but at the same time I 

 "am conscious that I spared no labour to prevent them." As 

 every plant enumerated is marked as kept in the stove or green- 

 house it is apparently the sale catalogue of the hothouse and 

 greenhouse plants sold on the 20th of Aug. 1781 thrown into an 

 alphabetic form. See Foth. cat. This volume of Fotherg. by 

 Letts. I saw for the first time a few years ago being with many 

 others the gift of Wright. [John Coakley Lettsom (1744-1815).] 



Lichfield garden. Cultivated by J. Saville vicar choral in 

 Lichfield cathedral and on his decease incorporated with May- 

 tield garden, (b. 1736 d. 1803.) See Anna Sewards letters. [John
